Watch eBay. Typically $30-35 there. According to jamesp and others, the older model is better than the new one. The old press only fits the older Dremels - head's up. Dremel still makes the 200 series, which fits perfectly. Based on a quick "look-see" of the 300 series, it might also fit.

A long, protective apron that falls below the knee. Helpful if it is turned up at the bottom about one inch to catch small items. The plastic aprons gets hot, but repel water well. A pocket is helpful. I like the heavy denim aprons with one or two pockets.

How about a pickle pot? It’s a small crockpot. About $10 at Bed Bath and Beyond. Get the style that has the removable insert; easier to wash.

Pickle Pot? Used for.....? After soldering jewelry the pieces are soaked in an heated acidic solution (pickle) to clean off the oxidization and burnt flux. The pickle pot is just a mini crock pot to heat the pickle. I used my pickle pot a few times today. Chuck

Completely off topic, but: Those small crockpot-type things also work well for wax potting guitar pickups.
